cutelittledevil's blog: "Obama stuff"

I know I might start venting and get a little off subject but i think its all relative, so here goes.

Ok don't ask don't tell. To me that phrase means if you don't ask I don't have to tell. That's all fine to me but i suppose it means different to politicians and other people.

On the news they talked about gay marches going on and Obama going on to say he would get rid of don't ask, don't tell allowing gays to serve openly. Im all for it. Let the gays serve their country they are human beings too plus they could do the same job as any straight person since they would have the same training. Im pretty sure with that out of the way reruitment #s will increase, we'll have more soldiers, decrease (hopefully) any chance of ever having to do a draft and unemployment would definately go down, in my opinion. If it happens then more power  to the people who actually get to choose to be in the military. If not, well there's not much I can say.

Maybe its just me but if that happens well, great. what about women who want to server and can't because they are either single/married/divorced/widowed with children? They are disqualified because of a child and the government won't accept them even if they have family who would and could watch the children during training and tours of duty, which I find is BS.

If any change came out to where women with children could join it wouldnt happen in this decade and I would be one of those people to write someone and say "well don't u feel stupid now? Everyone who wanted to join back then cant now because they are "too old" to join?" I think these women should be able to join and again back to the unemployment deal, what do u know it might go down more. Also gives these women the opportunity to go back to school to further education so that when they left the military, they have a fighting chance to get a job that pays decently well. Now a days it seems that almost all jobs are starting to require some sort of degree even if u have the experience in that field. With jobs going that route, there will always be people on welfare.
